inter caste marriage

Since 2011, Se Gunasekar, a lawyer from Tamil Nadu, has run Adhalinal Kadhal Seiveer — an NGO that works for the safety and welfare of inter-caste couples across the state.

The right to marry in India is part of the right to life as given under Constitution of India.

In the year 2009, the late Mr Lavanam was honoured with the Jamnalal Bajaj Award in the category of 'Constructive Work'.

In an attempt to reduce caste prejudice, the government extends financial incentives to inter-caste couples to help them settle down in the initial years of their marriage.
